Aspen Family Vacation

We ventured out to Aspen to see the Aspen Pergande clan for the first time as a family and try out skiing for the first time as a family. Uncle Don and Aunt Roz were AMAZING hosts. Uncle Don drove all the way to Eagle to pick us up from our flight. We stopped by the Grizzly Creek for a bathroom break and a beer on route to Aspen. In Aspen, our first stop was the ski shop. The kids were excited to get ski equipment. However, on our first day of ski school, Presley was definitely not up for it as you can see in the picture with her teacher. After 24 hours, we discovered she had Strep. So Presley really didn't get to experience skiing on this trip. Canyon, however, loved it. He got bumped up to a higher class and ventured out onto the mountain with Mom after his classes. Mom accidentally directed him to some black runs (where he slid down on his butt). Cousin Laila is an absolute doll. Don and Roz have an amazing pad, literally. Aspen is definitely a 2009 highlight. Hope to be back next year!
